Thank you for posting your questions. "Unified Console" is an IBM internal project codename that covers all of the Db2 common SQL engine data servers including IIAS. This is not a completely new console but an evolution and integration across the existing on premises and on cloud offerings. Some of the key characteristics, already available in IIAS, like the Home Page with customizable monitoring widgets are becoming a core part of the common Db2 Management Consoles in 2019.
I will be presenting at Think in February more details on the overall roadmap and rollout over the course of 2019. The key benefits to this evolution of our current consoles is a common experience, more modular deployment of services, an API REStful services based open architecture and a simple or transparent upgrade from your existing consoles.
